]¥evcr Prove False to a
Friend.
Never prove false to a friend ;
In love and friendship be true ;
Never prove false to a friend,
So long as he’s faithful to you ;
He may be dishonest, a knave
■ In other’s opinions, but then'
To you he is generous aud kind,
And one of the noblest of men.
Is any man free from each fault,
All righteous.and good in his ways?
Lives there a woman on earth
That she can be named but in praise?
Never speak ill of a friend,
To gossipers keep closed your ear; .
An excellent rule in the main,
Is to credit one-ten tb .that you hear.
Stand by a man in distress
When you know be is really in need ;
What matter if even he falls,
There is honor for you in the deed,
That one may deceive you ’tis true.
Then his and not yours the disgrace ; *
Because we find one man untrue,
Shall we wrong or distrust a whole race ?
Censure a man for his faults,
Give him honor when honor is due,
But never prove false to friend
'So long as he’s faithful to yon ;
Never prove false to a friend ,
In love and in friendship be true, *
Never prove false to .1 It lend
So long as lie’s faithful to you.
'Woman in Sickness.
In no situation, and under no
circumstances, does the female
character- appear to • such advan
tages as when watching beside the
bed of sickness. The chamber of
disease may indeed be said to be
woman’s home. We there behold
her loveliest, most attractive point
of view*—firm, without being harsh;
tender, not weak ; active, yet not
quiet ; geutle, patient, uncomplain
ing, vigilant. Every sympathetic
feeling that so peculiarly graces the
feminine character is there called
forth ; while the native strength of
mind which has hitherto slumber
ed in inactivity, is roused to its
fullest energy. With noiseless
step she moves about the chamber
of the invalid; her listening ear
ever ready, to catch the slightest
murmur; her quick, kind glance to
interpret the unuttered wish, and
supply the half-formed want. She
smooths with careful hand the un
easy pillow which supports the
aching head, or with cool hand
soothes the fevered brow, or prof
fers to the glazed and parching lip
the grateful draught, happy if she
meets with one kind glance in pay
ment for her labor of love.
Hers, too, is the low-whispered
voice, which breathes of life and
hope—of health in store for happy
days to come ; or tells of better aud
heavenly rest, where neither sor
row nor disease can come—where
the dark power of death no more
shall have dominion over the frail,
suffering, perishing clay. Through
the dim, silent watches of the night,
when all around are hushed in
sleep, it is hers to keep lone vigils
and to hold communion with her
God, and silently lift up her heart
in fervent prayer for the prolonga
tion of a life for which she would*
cheerfully sacrifice her own. Aud
even when exhausted she sinks to
brief repose, forgetfulness is denied.
Even in sleep she seems awake to
this one great object of her care.—
She starts and rises from her slum
bers, raises her drooping head, and
watches with dreamy eyes the face
she loves, then sinks again to rest,
to start with every chime of cldck
or distant sound, which formerly
had passed unheard or only served
as a lullaby to her sweet sleep.
An election held by the city of
Jacksonville, Florida, to decide
whether or no the city should be
bonded to the amount of $>40,000
to liquidate the amount due the
Florida Central and Atlantic and
Georgia Railroad showed a majori
ty against bonding, but a two thirds
vote not being cast the election was
abortive.
Camp Meeting Talk.
A chap down South w r ent to a
camp meeting, and gives the follow
ing amusing account of the dis
jointed conversation he had there :
Preaching had not begun, and
promenading was in progress. He
took a convenient stand and tried
to catch the remarks of the various
couples, as they went slowly by us.
“Yes, indeed,” (two girls talking
of course,) and my brother Tom
says that Henry Sokef brags about
how many times he has kissed he£
right iu the mouth, and she never
slaps him at all, when nobody is by,
and I am sure I should die if people
was to talk of me as they do about
her.”

Mr. Greeley writes the following
neat letter to the Typographical So
ciety of Charleston, S. C., in an
nouncement of honorary member
ship :
Gentlemen : I thank you for the
generous opinion of me embodied

a better understanding between our
people, North and South, and that
you may rejoice in the re-estab!ish

them, I remain yours,

When the Roman Emperor
said, “ I have lost a day,” he utter
ed a sadder* truth than if he liad
exclaimed, “ I have lost a king'dom,”
Napoleon said that the reason why
he beat the Austrians was that they
did not know the value of five min
utes. At the celebrated battle of
Rivoli, the conflict seemed on the
point of being decided against him.
He saw the critical state of affairs,
aud instantly took his resolution.—
He dispatched a flag to the Austri
an headquarters with proposals for
an armistice. The unwary Aus
trians fell into a snare : for a few
minutes the thmidfirs of battle were
hushed. Napoleon seized the pre
cious moments, and, while amusing
the enemy with mock negotiations,
re-arranged his line of battle, chang
ed his front, and in a few minutes
was ready to renounce the farce of
discussion for the stern arbitrament
of arms. The splendid victory of
Rivoli was the result. The great
moral victories and defeats of the
world otten turned on five minutes.
Man loiters, time flies ; and all the
great interests of life are speeding
on with the sure and silent tread of
destiny.
—lt was rightly said, “He who
instructs a tnan instructs, a person
who will die to-morrow, but he
who teaches a woman teaches a
whole generation.”
Policy of Rich Men.
It& told us the Rothschilds nev
er tike into their employment any
person who has been unsuccessful in
the affairs of life, and that the fact
of any man having failed in an un
dertaking is in itself an absolute
bar to his entering service. We do
not know whether this story be true
or fictitious, but if true, it does not
prove that the .Rothschilds have ad
opted the only wise course of t\c
tion in this matter. For example,
the great New York millionaire, and
man of business, A. T Stewart, has
/lor a (joarter of a century carried
out a policy exactly opposite to that
attributed to the Rothschilds, and
has always been in the habit of tak
ing into his employ men who have
previously failed in business on their
own account, not considering that
one failure indicated an absence of
capability on tl.eir part. He has
probably at this time no less than
one hundred of these merchants in
his service iu various capacities at
home and abroad. Most of them
are men of middle age, but many
are even older than that. He con
siders them the most valuable and
faithful of his subordinates, and ac
knowledges how much they have
done to build up his immense in
terest. He not only gets the bene
fit of their experience and kuowl
<#lge, but many of them have been
the means of bringing to him a
large amount of business through
their mercantile connections and
acquaintances. He often takes iu
men, who before theii failure, had
been among his sharpest competi
tors. By steadily pursuing this
line of policy, lie is surrounded
with thoroughly efficient clerks—
men who know their business and
guard His interests wisely.
Marriage Maxims.
A good wife is the gresatest earth
ly blessing.
A man is what his wife makes
him.
It is the mother who moulds the
character and destiny of the child
Never make a remark at the ex
pense of the other; it is meaness.
Never part without loving words
to think of during your absence.
Besides, it may be that you will
not meet again in life.
“ How gently glides the marriage life away
When she who rules still seem but to obey!”
Never both manifest anger at
once.
Never speak loud to one another,
unless the house is on fire.
Never reflect on a past action
which was done with a good motive
and with the best judgement at the
time.
Let each one strive to yield often
est to the wishes of the other, which
is the mutual cultivation of an ab
solute unselfishness.
Never find fault, unless it is per
fectly certain that a fault has been
committed ; and even then prelud,e
it with a kiss, and lovingly.
Never allow a request to be re
peated, “I forgot” is never an ac
ceptable excuse.
Marry into a different blood and
temperament from your own.
Courting in Siberia.
When once the young beau
among the Ivorakas becomes infat
uated, he makes known his passion
to the father of his affinity, and ex
presses his desire to strive for her
hand. A kind of contract is imme
diately entered into, by which the
young man binds himself to the
father as a servant, for a term of
years, at the expiration of which
time he can have the pleasure of
learning whether the daughter will
have him or not. In this manner,
if the father be the happy possessor
of a beautiful daughter, he may
have half a dozen men to do his
bidding at one time. When the
term of servitude expires; one of
the ’place, armed with thick sticks
and pieces of seal thongs, is then
stationed in the pologs suspended
around the room The daughter
then appeats, thickly clad in skin
garments, followed by her lover,
when a race ensues around the en
closure, the contestants dodging
about among the pologs. To win
bis bride he must overtake her, and
leave the print of his nail upon her
person, before she can be rescued
by the old during the
race, impedes the lover as much as
possible by beating him with sticks,
tripping him, and by seizing his
legs as he rushes by. The advan
tage is all with the girl, and if she
does not wisii to become the wife
of the pursuer, she can avoid him
without difficulty. On the contra
ry if she likes him, she manages to
stumble, or make known her wish
es to the old woman, who then only
makes a show of impeding her pur
surer. Sometimes the lover is des
perately smitten, and just after be
ing foiled he returns to the father
and binds himself for another peri
od ot years to have the privilege
of another trial.
A correspondent of the New
York World telegraphs from Wash
ington that the canvass in Virginia,
heretofore dull, is beginning to warm
up. He concludes: “ The straight
out element is exceedingly weak,
and will not reach 1,000 votes. The
majority for Greeley is estimated at
20,000, but will be largely over 30,-
000 if the October elections shall
prove, favorable. There will be a
very considerable colored vote for
Greeley.”

Why we Slioald Wear
Beards.
•
There are more solid inducements
for wealing the beard than the mere
improvement of a man’s personal ap
pearance, and the cultivation ot
such an aid to the every-day diplo
mancy of life. The hair of the mus
tash not only absorbs the moisture
and miasma of the fogs, but it strains
the air from dust and soot of our
great smoky cities. It acts also in
the most scientific manner, by tak
ing heat from the warm breath aa
it leaves the chest, and supplying
it to the cold air taken in. It is not
only a respirator, but with a beard
entire we are supplied with a com*
sorter as well, as these are never left
at home like the umbrella aud all
such appliences when they are wan
ted. Moftatt and Livingstone, 4h«
explorers, and many other travelors,
say that at night no wrapper can
equal the beard. A remarkable fact
is, too, that the beard, like the hair
of the head, protects against the
heat of the sun it acts like the that
ch does the ice-house; but, more
than this, it becomes moist with
perspiration, and then by evapora
tion, cools the skin. A man who
accepts the protection of nature aay
face ( the rudest storm and the hard
est winter. He may go from thw
hottest room into the coldest air
without dread; and we verily believe
he might sleep in a morass with im*
punity; at least his chance of escap
ing the terrible fever would be bet*
ter than his beardless companions,

Svmpatiiy.—There is no class of
society which is not humanized and
liberalized, in feelings aud senti
ments, by frequent and friendly in
tercourse. We are born to sympa
thize with each other in pleasure a*
well as in grief. The social feel
ings are improved whore amuse
ments are anticipated iu ootnuon
with our fellow-men; the mind
warms and. expands, and becomes
sensible to pleasures unknown to
him whose enjoyments are but sol
itary, who confines all his interest
and happiness and concern to tbe«*
narrow circle of his own selfishness.
The soul becomes liberalized and
enlightened when mingling in the
society of others, and particularly*
when sharing in their pleasures.—■
While, on the contrary, in solitude*
the man becomes misanthropic and.
selfish, contracted in his notions,.,
and filled with narrow prejudices.
A Mechanic.
A young man commenced ristiug
a young lady, and seemed to be well
pleased. One evening he had called
when it was quite late, which led
the young lady to inquire where be
had been.
“I had to work to-night.”
“What! do you work for a liv
ing ? ” she inquired in astonishment.
“Certainly,” replied the young
man, “ I am a mechanic.”
“ I dislike the name of a mechan
ic,” and she turned up her pretty
nose.
This was the last time that young*
man visited that young lady. He is
now a wealthy man, and has one of
the nicest women- to the country for
a wife. The lady who disliked the
name of a mechanic is now the wife
of a miserable fool—a regular va
grant about grog-shops, and the.
soft, verdant, miserable girl is
obliged to take in washing to sup
port herself and children.
You dislike the name of amechaa
ic, eh—you whose brothers are but
well-dressed loafers. We pity any
girl who is so verdant, so soft as to
think less of a man for being a me*
chanig—one of God’s noblemen, a
most dignified and honored person*
age of Heaven’s creatures.
Beware young ladies, how you
treat youog men who have to work
for a living, for you may one day
be a menial to one of them yourself.
Far better to discharge the well-fed.
pauper, with all his rings, jewelry,
brazenuess and pomposity, atid to
take your affections to the callouo
hand, industrious mechanic.
Thousands have bitterly repented
their folly who have turned thoir
backs to honesty. A few years
have taught them a severe lesson.
Fight your own battle*. How
your own row. Ask no favors of
any one, and you’ll succeed five
thousand times better than one who
is alv.ays beseeching some one’s in- •
fluence or patronage. No one’ will
be so heartily interested in your
affairs. The first step will not be
such a long one perhaps, but carving
your own way up the mountain you
make one lead to the other, and stand
firm on that while you chop still an
other out.
Men who have made fortunes are
not those who have five thousand
dollars given them to start with but
boys who have started with a wall
earned dollar or two. Men who
have-acquired fame have never been
thrust into popularity by puffs, beg.
ged or paid for, or given in friendly
spirit; they have outstretched their
own hands, and touched the pnblio
heart.
Men who win love do their own
wooing, and I never knew a man
fail so signally as one who induced
his grandmamma to speak a word
or two for him. Whether you Wor)t
for fame, love or money, or for any
thing else, work with your owm
hands, and heart and brain. . »«r
“I will, and somedayyou will con
quer. Never let any man have to
say, “I have dragged you up.”
Too many friends sometimes hurt a
man more than none at all.
